PRUNUS AVIUM. RUSSIAN CHERRY. S.P.I. No. 32674. 
A large-fruited variety of cherry, of fresh sour-sweet 
flavor, originated in 1888 by the Russian plant-breeder, Mr. 
I. V. Mijurin, at Kozlov, Tambov government, central Russia, 
and named by him "Knyasnaia Sjevera" meaning "Queen of the 
North." Said to be a hybrid between an early Wladimir cherry 
and a variety of sweet cherry called "White Winkler." Has 
stood the severe winters of central Russia very well and may 
be expected to thrive in the greater part of the Middle West, 
and more especially in those sections where the climate is 
more or less semi-arid. See Plant Immigrant Bulletin No. 72 
for further description. From photograph presented by Mr. Mi-
